Skyrim is just one of those games you throw on for a month when you need it and then put it back down. Cyberpunk 2077 is a welcome addition to the genre
For my Skyrim is so good because you can just spawn in a random place (with mod help ofc) and do whatever you want not interacting with the main story at all (I don't even have dragons, I think they make the game worse) and still have a fantastic time.
Cyberpunk is more of a story driven game, it's not really it without story characters and all that.
Yup. I was using SKyrim as my life sim/walking sim and this game has replaced it. I wish CDPR would just release something like CreationKit to open up modding even more. But what we currently have is already so impressive (custom clothing, vehicles, survival mode, immersion stuff, etc.)
Me too. I preordered the game December 2019 1 year before it ever came out. I remember they delayed it like 3 times and that yellow screen. We’ve come a long way from launch and the future of cyberpunk has never been brighter. Stoked for the new animated series and cyberpunk 2
they also made the industry standard that it doesnt matter if your game is shit at launch, everything will be sunshines and rainbows if you fix it later
TBH I loved the game even back on launch, the great storytelling and immersion was already there, it just wasn’t the polished masterpiece it became after DLC and 2.0
In fairness to Starfield I imagine most people played on Xbox since it was on Game Pass - that's what I did. But just comparing on Steam the difference is crazy
Good. Maybe this will show Bethesda that their name doesn't carry weight anymore and they can't create lifeless worlds that players will mindlessly buy.
3rd play through, I finally got her majesty <3 man I missed this gun.
I sandy dash and stab, or the 90 bullet rapid fire smg, the tactile shotgun.. or gorilla arms people .. but man it's fun just crouch 007 sandy hs a room of 10 people
I bought the game on my Xbox One on day one and it was a GRIND. I actually, barreled through it and honestly it was Not Fun.
I started a new gig and ended up having to to focus on work a LOT, so video games had to take the back burner. Bought a decent (but not great) “gaming” laptop. Half for work (I’m in IT) and just couldn’t get into games, tbh, I didn’t even want to touch a computer for about 3 years, just too busy fixing, maintaining blah, blah “Work Computers”.
Anyways a few months ago my work contract came to an end and I had the urge to play a video game and remembered that my first run thru on Cyberpunk was largely dampened by the console. I actually meant to replay it on a PC a couple years ago, cause I knew an old Gen Xbox on a new game wasn’t giving it a fair shake, I just got busy with other things.
It is SUCH a good game! I love it. I don’t think of it as a placeholder for GTA which might have been in the back of my head originally. NOPE, it has a WELL developed story (which OG source material helped, I’m sure), lotsa little details.
Night City, imo, is on par with RDR2 in terms of scenery, this map is GORGEOUS. And technically, just because of its NUMEROUS BG elements I can’t believe it holds up as well as it does. After-all, a low poly mountain range is easier to render as a background than a dynamic cityscape.
It’s a legit, SOLID, VERY AMBITIOUS game that has legs.
I am gonna replay Elden Ring after I refinish CP/PL, but I am so glad I gave this a run on PC.
My new console gets here Saturday. So I can finally play this game how it was meant to be played. Cause lemme tell ya chooms. Fucking xbox one was NOT the way lmao
man we will all be pretty old once the sequel comes but I cant imagine how insane that will be, if they make a online mode like GTA it will be even bigger I think thats their plan for next one
Hats off to CDPR. I was a believer since the first version came out and the highlights beat out the negativities surrounding the game for me. Also, seeing them gaining the trust back from many critics is such a good ending for the game.
Was my first CDPR game too, since I have not played any of the Witcher games and they made me into a fan that will now follow up, what the franchise will be up too.
Thank you ❤️ (For breaking our hearts with your amazing stories 💔)
I'm glad it's in a great place now, I really enjoyed it when it came out even with its issues but over the years I've been feeling very cynical about it where now it feels like a very shallow game
Seeing this kind player counts makes me dream... Imagine... just imagine, if we had CP2077 MMO with that many players running around the city at all times. How lively it'd feel.

It's the new Skyrim for a lot of people. Open world comfort game. Pretty wild how CDPR turned it around
